1 Not Used 2 Service overview 2.1 Introduction The School Improvement exists to carry out the Local Authority s statutory functions in relation to school improvement. This includes monitoring the performance of all schools and ensuring that suitable arrangements are in place to challenge, support, and, where necessary, intervene in, LA-maintained schools, with the level of activity being in inverse proportion to success. The is responsible for ensuring the council follows the DfE guidance: Schools causing concern - Statutory guidance for local authorities, issued in January 2015. The operates in partnership with schools and seeks to make effective use of the expertise residing within schools to promote sector-led improvement and engage system leaders, (such as National and Local Leaders of Education and Teaching Schools) to support and challenge schools in need of extra support. The includes a traded offering to schools, known as Barnet Partnership for School Improvement, which delivers a professional development/training programme to schools, along with consultancy support. The provides: Statutory school improvement support to 96 LA- maintained schools 78 Primary Schools, 7 Secondary Schools, 1 all-through school, 4 Nursery Schools, 4 Special Schools and 2 PRUs A traded school improvement to all schools that choose to subscribe to BPSI s A partnership framework for all Barnet schools, both the 96 maintained schools and the 27 Academies 3

A school improvement team, consisting of a Head of School Improvement and 3 Learning Network Inspector posts, plus a Narrowing the Gap Adviser and a School Performance Data Manager. The Head of School Improvement also manages the head of the school improvement traded (Barnet Partnership for School Improvement, or BPSI) who manages a team of 4 Advisers and 3 administrative staff and commissions s from a large number of contracted associates (up to 100). The Narrowing the Gap Adviser is funded from traded income in relation to support and induction training for NQTs and from dedelegated DSG funds for Narrowing the Gap work. Full details of the NQT work is shown in the specification for traded School Improvement Services. The dedelegated funding for Narrowing the Gap is money that is nominally delegated to maintained Primary Schools but which the maintained Primary School representatives on the Schools Forum have decided to dedelegate in order to provide a central budget to fund this. The key focus is on support for underachieving groups, including pupils eligible for free school meals and minority ethnic pupils. The funding contributes to part of the cost of three posts, the Narrowing the Gaps and NQT Adviser (60% of the post) and approximately 20% of the cost of the Head of School Improvement and the School Performance Data Manager. This specification covers the non-traded School Improvement s. A separate specification covers the traded s (BPSI and NQT support). 2.2 Service outcomes The overall aim of the is to ensure that Barnet is the most successful place for high quality education where excellent school result in all children achieving their best, being safe and happy and able to progress to become successful adults. In order to achieve the aims to ensure that: Every child attends a good or outstanding school, as judged by Ofsted The attainment and progress of children in Barnet schools is within the top 10% nationally 4

Accelerating the progress of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils in order to close the gap between them and their peers 2.3 Service challenges For some years, Barnet has been one of the top performing local authority areas in the country in relation to the achievement of children and young people and the quality of our schools. However, Barnet s good performance cannot be taken for granted. Our aspiration is to be among the top 10% of local authorities in relation to the quality of provision in our schools, but on a number of measures Barnet is either below this level or at risk of falling below it. For example: Whilst Barnet remains in the top 10 per cent of local authorities for schools that have been judged by Ofsted as good or outstanding, Barnet ranks much lower (close to the national average) in relation to inspections carried out under the new inspection framework introduced in 2012. In relation to pupil achievement and progression, there are significant concerns with Primary school results, particularly in relation to Writing, though the 2014 results show an improvement on 2013. At both Primary and Secondary level, the gap in attainment between pupils eligible for Free Schools Meals and their peers last year was well outside the top 10% of local authorities in England and well above the average gap for London. There has been an improvement in the Key Stage 2 figure in 2014 but it is not yet known whether this is also the case for Key Stage 4. In 2013 just 14% of looked after children in the Year 11 cohort achieved 5 A*-C GCSEs including English and Maths and the percentage making the expected level of progress in English and Maths between Key Stages 2 and 4 was just 12%. Pupil attendance at primary schools in 2012/13 (the last available figures for a full school year) was below the national average and well below the London average. 5

In the last few years, the nature of the relationships between different parts of the school system has evolved and is evolving. Schools have increasing autonomy, more of the resources for school improvement are delegated to schools and there is a wide range of providers and governance models emerging in the system. In Barnet 17 out of 24 secondary schools are Academies (including 2 secondary Free Schools). There are 10 Primary Academies, (including 3 Primary Free Schools). The vast majority of school improvement resources and school improvement expertise is now controlled and managed by schools themselves. Nationally there is a growing consensus among policy-makers around the need for: School-led system leadership and school to school support. Schools, especially primary schools, to work together in some forms of partnership groupings, such as federations or partnership trusts. In the light of this, as well as local developments in the education landscape in Barnet and elsewhere, the council has been consulting schools on a new approach to school improvement, involving increased use of headteachers leading on school improvement and the development of a series of school improvement partnerships so that every school in Barnet is able to benefit from or contribute to system leadership and a self-improving school system. 2.4 Scope of the It should be noted that the local authority will continue to have statutory duties in relation to the performance of maintained schools and it is therefore essential that the provider recognises the statutory role of the council s Director of Children s Services. In particular the provider needs to ensure that the local authority knows its schools, by arranging regular briefings for the DCS, especially in relation to schools causing concern. When formal powers of intervention require to be used in schools causing concern, the provider will make recommendations to the DCS and the DCS will decide on the use of those powers, taking account of the recommendations of the provider. Functions included: The local authority statutory monitoring, challenge and intervention functions that can be contracted out. 6
